Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 988 Is this also my property?
The next morning, Zhou Rui took some people and began to investigate the people's livelihood in Ryukyu.

His main identity here is the chairman of the "Ryukyu Reconstruction Committee". Including the Kate Rocket Base, everything is actually carried out under this framework, so we must keep an eye on the reconstruction process of Ryukyu.

You have to see how it works.

But he was indeed very interested in the changes in Ryukyu. The last time he came here, it was miserable. It was said to be an inspection of people's livelihood, but it was basically an inspection of the "refuge".

Let’s see how it goes this time.

On the way to the downtown area of ​​Naba, Zhou Rui pointed to an abandoned building on the side of the road. It seemed to be a former hotel, six or seven stories high. "Why hasn't this been cleaned up yet?"

Onaga Shio smiled and said, "The property rights belong to the Japanese company, but we are gradually nationalizing it. This is all Shangzhi's idea."

Zhou Rui had not paid attention to these details and asked, "How do you say that?"

"After the tsunami, almost all buildings needed to be cleaned up. Some were just soaked, while others were half-destroyed or completely destroyed and turned into ruins."

"Most of the Japanese had left by then, and there was no one to clean up or rebuild. I won't go into details, as you all know. It became an abandoned site with no one in charge."

"In theory, no matter what state these buildings are in, the property rights are intact, but we can use the 'order to clean up within a limited time' law as an excuse to require the property owners to clean them up in time, otherwise we will collect municipal impact fees. If they are not cleaned up within the deadline, they will be considered completely abandoned, and the property rights and the land will be taken back by Ryukyu."

There was a hint of satisfaction in Onaga Zhixiong's eyes, the satisfaction of having his revenge taken.

"Given the current situation in Ryukyu, the cost of cleaning up is far greater than the value of the property rights. Even if they want to clean up, all the forces in Ryukyu that can participate in the reconstruction are under the control of the committee. Unless they dispatch trucks and cranes to the island themselves, there is nothing they can do. As a result, most of the overseas property rights have gradually been taken over by the Ryukyu people themselves."

There are basically two overseas property rights, the United States and Japan, neither of which is a good thing for Ryukyu.

Not only did he act arrogantly and domineeringly, but he also simply passed the buck and disappeared after the tsunami, causing the entire island to miss the best rescue time and at least tens of thousands of people to die!

The complete rebirth of any place must begin with “refusing to recognize the legacy of past inequalities.”

The Ryukyu people were relatively polite and found an excuse.

Weng Chang Zhixiong chuckled and changed the subject: "Of course, this can also be considered your property."

Zhou Rui: “Me?”

"Many properties have been pledged to the 'Ryukyu Investment and Reconstruction Committee'. You own properties all over Ryukyu!"

Zhou Rui: Haha, thank you. What is the use of this kind of building? Is it a haunted house?
The first stop of the people's livelihood inspection is Shangxue High School, which was once the best high school in Ryukyu and has a completely Chinese name.

It seems to be somewhat related to the "Shang Family".

I didn’t come last time, mainly because “Shangxue High School” had not been rebuilt yet.

Almost all the students and teachers of the high school came out to greet him, but what caught Zhou Rui's attention most was his own "full-length statue".

The metallic copper paint was relatively new, and it might have been painted overnight to welcome him. It was so bright in the sun.
Many people even had to lower their heads and dared not look directly.

Because it's really blinding!

Zhou Rui's mouth twitched: "Is this like... standing at the gate appropriate?"

Weng Chang Zhixiong: "Why is it inappropriate? This is also your property. You own 47% of the property rights of Shangxue High School."

OK OK.
The itinerary for high school is relatively simple. I shake hands with the students, communicate with them, show concern for them, and encourage them.

The second stop is the "Ryukyu History Memorial Museum", which is a key project instructed by Zhou Rui last time. It is specifically used to record and display the colonial history of Ryukyu, from the Japanese colonial period to the American colonial period.

Then I saw my full-length portrait again at the gate.

Zhou Rui: “This”

"This is also your property. Although the property rights belong to the Ryukyu people, you funded it 100%, so it is reasonable to erect a statue."

"I know I was trying to say this whole body looks like it's wholesale?"

"To be honest, they were all made in Foshi City, Eastern Province."

"How much did you buy?"

"I made a mold and bought 50 of them."

How many?

Am I a must-do activity in Ryukyu? My image is everywhere?

------

In the evening, Zhou Rui returned to the Sunset Hotel, having completed his work for the day.

In general, Ryukyu has recovered very well, and all aspects are recovering. The shadow of the "committee" can also be seen in all aspects.

Well, there are statues of him everywhere.

Fu Rui Group has indeed invested a lot and donated a lot, but the real contribution comes from the organizational strength.

For example, the current thriving people's livelihood, cultural revival, and currency mixing involve very complex areas.

But the names were all attributed to Zhou Rui, making the effect seem more subtle and subtle.

Although Ryukyu itself is only an island with a population of 60, it represents hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of surrounding sea power, unsinkable aircraft carriers, and countless natural resources. It is worth any effort.

There are more than fifty statues erected all over the island. This is done both to curry favor with Onaga Shio and because the "committee" needs a less "official" image to win over the hearts of the people.

I can only say that with the added bonus of multiple entries, "Zhou Rui" is simply a powerful publicity tool, and everyone who has used it speaks highly of it.

It may not be a "must-do activity in Ryukyu", but it is a "must-have treasure for publicity".

As soon as I entered the suite, I heard Li Wenqian yelling, "Zhou Rui! You won't believe this! Today Xinyuan Yui took us to a seaside park, and there was a full-length statue of you there! It was so huge!"

Li Wenqian stretched out her hand and gestured a height as best she could, which was probably the same height as Han Zinyin.

Zhou Rui: "Yeah, yeah, I can't believe it at all."

He vaguely remembered signing a document a long time ago, saying that the committee applied to use his portrait rights. He actually signed it.

But you also said that you used it to death!

From the bathroom came the sound of splashing water and cheerful laughter.

Zhou Rui was kicked out because if he was there, things would often turn into other activities and he wouldn't even be able to take a peaceful bath.

Bath spoiler!
Zhou Rui couldn't understand this. Isn't the purpose of taking a bath to be happy? Then wouldn't it be reasonable to be happy while taking a bath?

So I just crossed my legs and enjoyed the sea breeze on the balcony.

Zhou Rui picked up his phone and scrolled through it. He saw a piece of news flooding the screens of major media outlets, so he clicked on it.

"Today, Omar left the WH where he had worked for eight years, and an hour later, his new boss, Trump, arrived here."

Yes, Omar, who had many transactions with Zhou Rui and would have more in the future, finally ended his entire term of office.

The news content mainly focuses on the inaugural speech of the new director of the World Police Bureau, Chuant.

This "old acquaintance" whom Zhou Rui was very familiar with was speaking boldly in front of a famous table with great enthusiasm.

What was supposed to come still came.
"I came here to do only three things! MG! MG! And MG!"

There were many cheers from below.

“The world is changing dramatically. We are no longer great, but it doesn’t matter. I’m here!”

"I will increase investment in science and technology, trade, education, health care, and social security, so that every American citizen can enjoy world-class resources and freedom."

"We will not let a certain Eastern power surpass us, ever!"

"The interests of the United States come first, not Europe or Japan. To be honest, I don't care about these places at all. I only care about every citizen of the United States."

"'Europe', 'Japan', and 'Universe' have always been under our protection. What good will this do to Country M? I will charge them a fee, or I will withdraw from there!"

I have to say, this guy's style is really different from Omar's.

The speech was very "unofficial", "non-elitist" and "non-rigorous". It basically used the simplest words, so even rednecks who had difficulty spelling could fully understand it.

And on the first day, the content was very exciting.

The video switched to the host, a serious-looking Aladdin woman.

"Our new leader doesn't seem to like following the rules. He even announced that he would use hamburgers as the menu for the inauguration dinner. This makes many people in the country nervous about whether he can do his job well."

Zhou Rui touched his chin with interest.
On his first day in office, the mainstream media had already shown its "unfriendly" attitude without any disguise.

It seems that the struggles and differences over there will be more intense than imagined, even more intense than Zhou Rui's previous life.

but it does not matter.

He really likes watching plays.
